Revealing Secrets
When our enemy pours out the impossibilities what are we to do? We are to go to God in prayer and open our Bible and read it. Read the promises found there and the comforting words of Daniel, There is a God in heaven that revealeth secrets. (Daniel 2:28) We are to meditate on the reassuring words of God, before they call, I will answer; while they are still speaking, I will hear (Isaiah 65:24) and whatever you ask me in my name, I will do it. (John 14:13-14). We need faith in the Lord when we go to Him in prayer. (Hebrews 11:6)
During those moments when there seems to be no answer, what are we to do? Are we supposed to act as people without faith, a light, and discernment? NO, because we have a LIGHT who we are to put our faith in and use the discernment in which He gives. We cannot act as those caught in a whirlpool of doubt. We have a God who will reveal secrets; all we need to do is go to Him.
Hand over your impossibilities so God can make them possibilities.
With a little time, the secrets I needed were revealed for this precious little boy. Lend a listening ear. Draw him in closer even during the good times. Be an encourager. Just show him love. Our days were not always happy and harmonious. We went to the Lord together, so he could hear me talk to God about him. I wanted him to know I cared.
I gave God what seemed impossible and He returned a possible.

Just stumbled upon your link up today! So glad I found it.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you found it also, Casey.
ReplyDeleteYour story brought tears to my eyes. I'm sure you were a huge blessing in that little boy's life and I'll bet he'll always remember you as one who made a difference. Gotta love teachers like you!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the link up and blessings to you,

That Daniel.
ReplyDeleteThere are so many lessons from his life that can be applied to every day living. Thanks for this one -- so often I'm up against a question mark and wondering where to take it. (How soon I forget.)
Thank you for sharing your heartfelt story Lori. My best friend has been an educator for a while and he thoroughly enjoys elementary age children over any other. Blessed to read how you helped this young boy. Sounds like God helped you as well in this experience. I know God will continue to reveal Himself to you as you seek Him in prayer.So glad to be back at Thankful Thursdays as my health continues to improve. Have a wonderful week my friend and may God continue to richly bless you and yours.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this school story, Lori. My daughter is a Kindergarten teacher in a low-income school, and she has many students who come from dysfunctional situations. It’s such a heart-breaking thing to see. But you’re right that we always have a light to put our faith in. God can and does do the impossible!
ReplyDeleteLori, how precious! May the seeds you sowed in that little boy bring a harvest of righteousness.
ReplyDeleteLoved this!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Deborah.
ReplyDeleteI have wondered about him several times this year. He is college age now and I'd love to know what he is up to.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Lisa. I can't help but wonder what parents would do if they saw their children and family through someone else's eyes. I would hope some would make changes while others I know just wouldn't care.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Horace. I'm glad to hear you are feeling better.
ReplyDeleteThe book of Daniel has some amazing lessons. As soon as I'm finished with my study of the Gospels, I'm planning on studying Daniel again.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Patti. Anytime I think of former students I pray the Lord brings back to their remembrance things I taught them.
ReplyDeletePraying for this little boy and his family. You are a good teacher, you care about him, I can tell.
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting.
Blessings,
Bibi
Thank you, Bibi. I'm not teaching in a classroom any longer, but I am homeschooling. I've made some inquiries about this family and I'm looking forward to hearing about them.
ReplyDeleteThanks Lori! I loved reading this.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Momma.
